This study reviews research proposals submitted by investigators to open access clinical trials data platforms and describes the data sharing agreements and publications that resulted from the application.
Concerns over bias in clinical trial reporting have stimulated calls for more open data sharing.1 In response, multiple pharmaceutical companies have created mechanisms for investigators to access patient-level clinical trials data. However, if and how these shared clinical trial data are being used is unknown.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Staying in Shape During Sports Season
It doesn't matter what your game is. If you want to be at your best -- on the court, on the field, on the rink, wherever -- you need to know how to get your body to perform at its peak.
Just showing up for practice won't cut it. You have to get in shape, do what you can to prevent injury, and fuel your body with healthy foods. Here's how.

Babysitter Safety: What You Need to Know
When you're in middle school or high school, there aren't a ton of job options. (President of the United States and CEO of a major corporation are still a few years down the road.) Babysitting is still one of the best -- and most popular -- jobs for pre-teens and teens. For many, it's their very first job. You might be excited about the prospect of finally earning some money of your own, but hold on a minute. Do you know exactly what you're getting into? Babysitting isn't as easy as it looks....
Read the Babysitter Safety: What You Need to Know article > >
Fit to Play
First things first. Before the season even starts, you should already be in shape.
"A lot of youth don't think they need to get in shape," says James Chesnutt, MD, a sports medicine specialist at Oregon Health & Sciences University. "They are couch potatoes right up to the first day of practice."
Don't let that be you. Practice is going to put a lot of strain on your muscles. Games are even more intense. You have to be prepared. Think about baseball. If you're a pitcher and your arm isn't up to the task, your game might not be the only thing to suffer. A weak arm is an easily injured arm.
Chesnutt, who coaches teen sports in Portland, Ore., tells his players that they need to start working out six weeks prior to the season, putting in an hour's worth of exercise a day (something everyone should be doing already). That means a mix of lifting, cardio training, and active play that revs your heart.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes

A comparative numerical and experimental analysis of scattering from dielectric-backed frequency-selective surfaces in W-band (75-110 GHz) was carried out. The examples studied include metal (aluminium), resistive (bismuth), and bismuth-loaded I-pole or linearized Jerusalem cross arrays on fused silica, all of which exhibit a band-stop resonance in W-band as a general feature. The arrays were fabricated using standard photolithographic techniques. The numerical analysis involves the solution of an electric field integral equation using subdomain rooftop basis and testing functions within the framework of the Galerkin testing procedure. The lossy nature of the materials was fully accounted for. A comparative analysis of doubly stacked aluminium I-pole arrays was also performed. The numerical analysis exploits a variant of the cascade method in that the immediately adjacent dielectric layers are included in the construction of the scattering matrix for the frequency selective surface. This allows the higher-order evanescent Floquet modes to decay sufficiently at the dielectric boundaries so they can be ignored in the scattering matrix

Salem Township Hospital Begins Hospitalist Program
Hospital Administrator Stephanie Hilton-Siebert says two physicians have signed contracts to provide the service. "We saw that there is a need for patients who don't have a primary care physician whenever they come to our emergency room. We want to be able to offer an inpatient service to them. We have two hospitalists, Dr. Faisal Rashid and Dr. Gautam Jha. Dr. Rashid is also a Nephrologist and he is able to console about any type of nephrology or kidney needs that patients may have," said Hilton-Siebert. "We have seen this to be very beneficial in keeping patients who sometimes were transferred before."
Hilton-Siebert says Hospitalist medicine has become the fastest growing specialty in the United States due to the positive difference it makes in hospitalized patient care. The Hospitalist works with the patient from admission to discharge, managing the entire inpatient care process. With the assistance of other physicians, nurses and support staff, the Hospitalist works to deliver a coordinated team approach for each patient.
Dr. Jha says his work as one of the two Hospitalists will not impact his regular practice that will continue as usual.

X-Men: Will it be fans' last stand?
Published: Thursday, May 25, 2006 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 25, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
J.C. Cunningham, 24, owner of Stage 29 Comics and longtime fan of the X-Men series, is eagerly awaiting the release of "X-Men: The Last Stand."
"I think that it's going to be done really well and people who have their doubts will be surprised."
When asked about some parts of the movie that would be disappointing, he noted the fact that there are some characters, notably Gambit, that were important to the series when he was growing up that are not present in the movie.
"But you have to take the movie for what it's worth so I try to be fair and realize that since the series has been around for so long, there's no way the movie is going to please everybody."
Dennis Shuster, 39, manager of The Tangled Web, is excited about the new release.
"I'm excited about everything I've seen, such as the casting and the addition of some of the X-Men, notably Kelsey Grammer as the Beast."
As for the story line, Shuster is trying to steer clear from learning too much.
"I'm trying to stay in the dark about the story line because I like to be surprised when I watch the movie."

Scientific Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin Florida
155 PM EDT sun Jul 24 2016
..strong to severe storms possible this afternoon...
Short term...
for the rest of the afternoon expect showers and storms to
continue to rapidly develop within a moist an increasingly
unstable air mass. Cold dry air aloft associated with the upper
level low moving across the southern peninsula will support an
increased risk for some strong to severe storms with damaging
downburst winds and marginally severe hail a possibility. Slow and
erratic storm motion will also favor some locally heavy rains
along with frequent deadly lightning strikes.
Tonight the showers and thunderstorms will slowly wind down across
the forecast area after sunset as boundary interactions weaken
and loss of daytime heating occurs with convective debris
cloudiness gradually thinning out with skies becoming partly
cloudy overnight.
On Monday a weakening upper level low will be moving west northwest
over the Gulf of Mexico on the western side of the sub-tropical
upper level ridge over the Atlantic. As the remnant upper level
low moves further to the west deeper moisture will again be pulled
into the forecast area on a deep layered southeast wind flow
during the day with pw's approaching 2 inches by early afternoon.
This moisture coupled with daytime heating will support scattered
to numerous diurnal sea breeze driven showers and storms (pops in
the 50 to 60 percent range) across the region during the afternoon
and early evening hours. Warming mid level temperatures should
keep the threat for strong to severe storms low, however deep
moisture combined with slow and erratic storm motion will again
favor some locally heavy rainfall in some locations, along with
frequent deadly lightning strikes and some gusty winds.
Temperatures tonight and on Monday will remain a few degrees above
normal with lows tonight in the lower to mid 70s over inland
areas, and upper 70s along the coast, with daytime highs on Monday
climbing to around 90 along the coast, and lower to mid 90s
Long term (monday night - sunday)...
models in good agreement with somewhat small and weak mid to upper
ridging from the western Atlantic into the Carolinas Tuesday
sinking southward into the Georgia and SC low country by mid week
then broadening over the entire deep south and Florida by weeks end,
then slowly retracting into the Atlantic next weekend in response
to Great Lakes troughing.
At the surface weak western Atlantic Bermuda high pressure holds
and meanders over the region with a relaxed pressure gradient
and light low level steering flow.
Warm upper ridging and somewhat drier air aloft to keep diurnal
heating and sea breeze/outflow convection slightly below climo and
scattered in nature through much of the week. Temps to continue
near or several degrees above summertime normals area wide.
brief MVFR/IFR conditions from shra/tsra may impact the terminals
through 02z and have handled with brief tempo groups through 22z
for now, otherwise thunderstorms in the vicinity should suffice. Outside of the convection
VFR will prevail. The coastal terminals will see southwest to west
winds at 7 to 10 knots the remainder of the afternoon with
southeast winds at 5 to 7 knots continuing at klal. Gusts up to 40
knots will be possible in the vicinity of tsra. VFR along with
light and variable will return to the terminals after 02z tonight
as the shra/tsra end across the region.
tranquil boating conditions will continue over the Gulf waters
tonight through the upcoming week as the ridge axis currently
across the Northern Peninsula slowly sinks south to be cross the

Borla S-type muffler
Has anyone used the s type muffler on their rams. Im wantind to install one using the factory exhaust. Let me know what you guys think.
I am not familiar with the Type S variant. Most of the Borla systems I have heard on a HEMI sound very much like the Magnaflow sound, which I like a lot!
Ya now that i got looking more at it, they only have it with a 2.5" inlet and outlet. the stock exhaust is 3 inch.
It would sound good, I'm pretty sure, but you may not want to neck down at the inlet and outlet of the muffler that much. Do they have a 3" unit?
I've got the regular Borla and it's got a great tone, the S-type is the race variant so will be much louder but it's a guarantee that it'll flow really well. I'd go for it, they're great mufflers.
Id buy one if they have one with a 3 inch inlet/outlet. maybe they will make me one
ya def call them, the cat back on mine is loud when it needs to be and once at cruising speed you cant even hear it, so it doesnt drive ya nuts. If they dont have the S type in 3' outlet then im guessing they will have another one. let us know once you talk to them.
I just sent them an email. Hopefully they will send me some info on it.

This invention relates to messaging systems, and particularly to messaging systems where message ordering must be related to transactional boundaries. Such a messaging system, for example, may be used to capture database changes as they occur within a transaction.
In the field of this invention it is known that there are various database replication systems that operate over messaging systems.
However, many of these operate by a separate phase where the database log is scraped to extract relevant data after transactions are complete. This approach has various disadvantages:
Other systems use 'during transaction' capture, but have small windows of error where database changes may be recorded in the wrong order. This results in errors in the replica.
A need therefore exists for a scheme for message handling in a messaging system wherein the abovementioned disadvantage(s) may be alleviated.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for message handling in a messaging system as claimed in claim 1.
In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a message handling system as claimed in claim 7.
Two schemes for message handling in a messaging system incorporating the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
As shown in
Operation of the Two-Phase Commit protocol is illustrated (for simplicity, without consideration of failures or recovery) in
As shown in
In the first phase (110), a coordinator process is started (usually at the site where the transaction is initialized), writes a begin commit record in its log, sends a 'prepare' request to the participants, and enters the wait state.
When a participant receives a 'prepare' request, it checks if it can commit the transaction. If it can, the participant writes a ready record in its log, sends a 'vote_commit' response to the coordinator, and enters the ready state. Otherwise, the participant decides to unilaterally abort the transaction (it writes an abort record in the log and sends a 'vote_abort' message to the coordinator; it then enters the abort state and can forget about the transaction).
In the second phase (120), after the coordinator has received votes from all participants it decides whether to commit or abort according to the global commit rule, and writes this decision in the log. If the decision is to commit, it sends a 'global_commit' message to all sites. Otherwise, it sends a 'global_abort' message to all sites that voted to commit. Finally, it writes an end of transaction record in its log. The participants finish the transaction according to the decision and write the result in their logs.
When a queuing system is used to capture changes within another resource manager such as a database, in particular where the changes are captured as part of the transaction generating the change, database changes must be captured in the correct order; and the change order must be represented in the messages on the system queue. In such a system, although it is not essential, it is highly desirable, that the change order is represented directly by the order of messages on the queue (it is essential that either (1) the change order is represented by the order of messages on the queue, or (2) that the messages are change-order-stamped in some way with the change order. Database locking will ensure that change order is the same as, or equivalent to, prepare order. However, (2) is undesirable, as the change order is not known when the messages are PUT (that is, when they are sent by placing them in an outbound queue). The messages would need to be updated as part of the PREPARE phase. Also, even though the change-order-stamp would permit the message reader to reconstruct the correct order, the message reader would not know how long it might be necessary to wait for 'out of order' messages). An example of such a system is a database application using user defined fields (UDFs) and triggers to generate application specific change messages into a queueing system.
Referring now to
It will be understood that in practice the transaction manager (TM) 210 may actually be part of either the resource manager (DB) 220 or the resource manager 230 (MQ). In some environments, the order in which the resource manager (DB) 220 or the resource manager (MQ) 230 are called for prepare and for commit is well determined. For example, in an IMS environment (IMS is a well-known "Information Management System" database of IBM Corporation) both the transaction manager and 210 and database manager 230 are provided by IMS, DB 220 will be called for commit before the other resource manager MQ 230. In a CICS transaction processing system environment (CICS is a well-known transaction processing system from IBM Corporation which includes transaction coordination), the components TM 210 and DB 220 are provided by the CICS system, and resource manager MQ 230 will be called for commit before DB 220. In other environments such as XA (which is the international standard for the interface between two phase commit transaction coordinators and resource managers) with external coordinator, or DTC (the known two-phase commit coordinator of Microsoft Corporation—now integrated as part of Microsoft's operating system and ".NET" infrastructure) the order of the commit call to MQ and DB is non-deterministic, and the calls may be in parallel. CICS and IMS are trademarks of IBM Corporation.
Database locking and semantics will assure appropriate synchronization within the database; these locks will be held from when made during application processing (before the prepare phase) through until DB commit.
It is highly undesirable to change the protocols or operation of either TM or DB. The present invention does not require such a change.
The present invention is based on implementation of prepare ordering in a messaging system.
In a system where queuing is used to capture changes during a transaction, and these messages are to be replayed to recreate part or all of the changed system, a first preferred embodiment of the present invention implements unit-of-work (UOW) prepare order message ordering on queued messages by deferring execution of commit requests until commit (or abort) requests for all UOWs with earlier prepare order are complete.
In order to implement prepare ordering in this way in a system employing a transaction manager (TM) and resource managers (DB and MQ) such as described above in relation to
In this way, committed messages go through the following states:
Messages from a unit of work may be moved from COMMITTED to RELEASED state (as in unit-of-work UOWB in step 340 of the table of
The table of
It will be understood that this implementation of COMMIT for a UOW is in two parts (the first part applying to messages within a particular UOW, and the second possibly also applying to messages in other UOWs as well) as follows:
It will be understood that with a standard two-phase system as discussed above in relation to
Thus it will be appreciated that the procedure described above in accordance with the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is effectively three-phase commit (Prepare, Commit, Release). However, it is achieved using a standard two-phase TM protocol, as the final phase (Release) may be performed at Commit time. It may be that Release for one transaction is triggered by Commit of another.
It will be appreciated that implementation of ordering based on the order with which MQ commit was called can give wrong answers. Where DB commit is called before MQ commit, MQ commit calls may be arbitrarily deferred by TM. In that case, orderings of DB prepare, DB commit and MQ prepare will be related (not necessarily identical), but with no assured relationship to MQ commit ordering.
There may be cases where the prepare phases (and commit phases) of many UOWs overlap. Assuming correct DB locking, this can only occur where the UOW ordering is non-important.
It will be understood that the scheme of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention described above assures correct ordering and thus correct end results.
Thus it will be appreciated that in its first preferred embodiment the present invention employs a three-phase commit sequence (in which the 'standard' commit phase is split into two parts, commit and release) as follows:
Thus release phase ordering for two transactions is the same as prepare phase ordering. If we have two transactions (1 and 2), we may see the following ordering of events:
[P1, P2, C2, C1, R1, R2] or preferably
(Px representing Prepare of transaction x, Cx representing Commit of transaction x, Rx representing release of transaction, and CRx representing a combination of commit and release of transaction x into a single phase).
Thus, in summary, it will be understood that in its first preferred embodiment the present invention provides, in a system where queuing is used to capture changes during a transaction, and these messages are to be replayed to recreate part or all of the changed system:
It will be appreciated that the first two phases (PREPARE and COMMIT) of a three phase transaction must be persisted (probably in the transaction log) to ensure correct recovery behaviour. However, the third phase (RELEASE) does not need to be persisted. The necessary information can be reconstituted by the resource manager on restart. Thus the three-phase commit protocol does not add additional I/O to the standard two-phase protocol, and is thus likely to be only a minimal performance impact.
In a second preferred embodiment the present invention employs a two-phase commit sequence. To ensure message ordering is correctly related to database changes, where commit requests come in a different order from prepare requests, execution of early commit requests for transactions prepared later are deferred until the commit (abort) requests for the transactions prepared later have been completed. Thus, for two transactions (1 and 2), we may see the following ordering of events:
[eg P1, P2, <C2 . . . , <C1>, . . . C2>]
(<Cx . . . representing the request for transaction x to commit, . . . Cx> representing the implementation of the commit, and <Cx> representing the case where the commit phase does not need to be deferred and is implemented as soon as requested).
Thus, in summary, it will be understood that in its second preferred embodiment the present invention provides, in a system where message queuing is used to capture changes during a transaction, and these messages are to be replayed to recreate part or all of the changed system:
Thus, it will be appreciated that the first and second preferred embodiments of the present provide alternative solutions to the same problems as discussed above, and that whereas the first preferred embodiment has the advantage that queue manager commit operations are not unnecessarily held up (but depending on coordinator implementation this could also hold up database commits for the same transaction and reduce concurrency), the second preferred embodiment has the advantage that it is not necessary to add the 'committed but unreleased' phase for messages.
Thus it will be understood that the essential difference between the first and second preferred embodiments of the present invention is whether Commit phase is:
Clearly, (a) is preferable for performance, but more complex.
In a typical case, prepare ordering and commit ordering for transactions will be the same. In this case the first implementation will implement the release phase immediately following the commit phase [e.g., P1, P2, C1, R1, C2, R2] (or preferably will combine the two into a single commit/release phase [e.g., P1, P2, CR1, CR2]).
In this case the second preferred embodiment of the present invention will not need to defer commit, for example:
It will be appreciated that the methods described above for prepare ordering in a messaging system will typically be carried out in software running on a processor (not shown), and that the software may be provided as a computer program element carried on any suitable data carrier (also not shown) such as a magnetic or optical computer disc.
It will be understood that the implementations of prepare ordering in a messaging system described above provide the advantage of permitting appropriate message ordering in a transactional system, and in particular permits the correct implementation of a database replication system using coordinated message transport that is fed the changes during database transactions.

After you and your doctor have treated any health problems related to your insomnia, there are many steps you can take to improve your sleep. Here are a few examples:
- Avoid or limit caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. Don't use them at all late in the day or in the evening.
- Check all of your medicines with your doctor to see if they could be affecting your sleep. To help avoid sleep problems, you may be able to adjust your dose or change the time of day you take your medicine.
- Use the evening hours for settling down. Avoid watching TV and using the computer or phone if they keep you from getting to sleep.
- Create a bedtime routine that you do each night to help teach your body and mind that it is time to wind down. For example, before bed, take a warm shower, listen to soothing music, or have a cup of herbal tea.
- Make exercise a regular part of your life, but don't do it within 3 or 4 hours of bedtime.
- Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and cool. Try using a sleep mask and earplugs to help you sleep.
- If you can't fall asleep (or fall back to sleep) after 20 minutes, get out of bed and do a quiet task. This will help you to not link being in bed with not being able to sleep.
- If you are overweight, set goals to manage your weight. Being overweight can be linked with sleep problems.

Sleep tips for older adults
Older adults, especially those living in nursing homes or who are cared for by others, often have ongoing sleep problems. It's natural for your sleep patterns to change as you get older, but it doesn't mean that you need less sleep or that the sleep you do get is enough.
There are things you can do to cope with changing sleep patterns as you get older, such as having familiar evening and nighttime routines.
Treatment if sleep problems don't get better
Be sure to talk to your doctor if your sleep problem gets worse, if it lasts for more than 2 weeks, or if your symptoms become more severe or happen more often.

Geithner Says Europe's Woes Tougher to Solve Than U.S. Crisis
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said Europe is "making some progress" in combating a financial crisis that's more difficult to solve than what the U.S. faced in 2008.
"If you look back over the last three months or so, they are starting to engender more confidence," Geithner told business executives today in Charlotte, North Carolina. "They're going to get their arms around this and contain it."
Europe has a "much more difficult crisis to solve" than the U.S. did, he said.
Geithner was speaking at an event held by the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. He visited the state to tour a Siemens AG energy plant and promote investments in manufacturing and technologies to create jobs.

Orinda taxpayers have been overfunding MOFD since the district was created. This is not what was promised Orinda voters when they formed MOFD in 1997. Over the 19 years MOFD has been in existence, Orinda taxpayers have paid $25 million more into the system than they have received in services. This $25 million has gone to subsidize service in Moraga. Currently Orinda taxpayers are paying $2.5 million more than it costs to run Orinda's three fire stations and this is projected to increase by over $200,000 per year for the foreseeable future.
Orinda voters created MOFD with four main goals which were laid out by the City Council:
MOFD has made a number of rationalizations of why there has been no funding inequity. All of these have been shown to be either false or de minimis (answering a fraction of funding inequity). Orinda's representatives have never disagreed with these rationalizations and members of the Orinda Council have never stood up for Orinda taxpayers either, even though the misdirected funding has negatively impacted the community's safety.
As time moves on and the funding inequity grows from $700,000 in 1998 to $1,000,000 in 2009 to $2,500,000 in 2016 with a projection of $4,000,000 by 2022, when will our elected representatives do their job of representing the best interests of the community and use Orinda tax dollars to enhance safety in Orinda?

I just bought it yesterday, therefore i'm yet to fully observed its performance
It's to small
By Cory1115

For the price it is good. But the bagless is to small. It does suck pet hair really good. But you have to dump the bagless ever few minutes.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
worst thing I've ever bought
By bec101

Purchased yesterday and it's such a piece of junk I'm tossing it and going back to hover products. 30 minutes and the motor overheats and it shuts down.
Had recall on the pet vac that we had ( plug was fire hazard
By jimmie sue
from Grand Isle, LA, United States
Would appreciate if someone would contact me for the fact that our product replacement is only a few months old and the hinge that allows the container to empty is broke so I need a new canister to fit the model they chose for appropriate replacement. I am not sure I would have chose this one ( Dirt Devil Jaguar pet) due to the fact it is really heavy and not easy to maneuver in small spaces.

The first time using this product, dust came out from the bottom. Double checked EVERYTHING and tried again but the same thing happened...dust every where! I do not know where or what else to do, suggestions?!!!???!!!
Not impressed
By mpatter
from St. Louis County, MO, United States
Received this as a free replacement for my original pet vac. Had to assemble when it arrived which was irritating. The first time I used it on my stairs, the handheld brush stopped working half way up. Falls over easily when using hose and hand tools. Weighs a lot more than the original one which is why I purchased it so it would be easy to carry up and down stairs. The handle does no fold down which makes it harder to store. Overall, feels cheap. If this is an upgrade to my original, I would rather have my original one back. I will say it does a good job picking up the pet hair off the carpets.
love the pet brush!!!
By kard
from Seminole, AL, United States
it works alot better than the one it replaced, great for pet hair.
died the day after we threw away receipt and a day shy of a month after bought
By Caitlin
from Massachusetts, United States
This vacuum worked great the first few times I used it. I was very happy with it and it while vacuuming last night it just stopped working. I clean it out thoroughly easter each use, I am not rough with the vacuum. This is the second dirt devil product I have purchased that died no warning no reason in the middle of use.

Dolce & Gabbana's spring line includes a 'slave sandal' and people are pissed
As a fashion house, Dolce & Gabbana is known for its love of animal prints, its opposition to gay couples adopting children, and its staunch stance against surrogacy and in vitro fertilization.
Now, thanks to its upcoming 2016 spring collection, the brand might be able to add low-key racism to the list of things that influence its signature style. Earlier today, listings went up for a $2,395 piece of leather masquerading as a sandal adorned with tufts of cotton. Dolce & Gabbana called it their "Slave Sandal."
.@dolcegabbana Just wondering what possessed you to name your latest summer sandals "The Slave Sandal"? Wow.
— Strategic Comms Girl (@FlackInTheCity) March 3, 2016
D&G slave sandal is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen
— Aaron (@donafella) March 3, 2016
"The Spring-Summer 2016 collection is a declaration of love to Italy, told through unique clothing and accessories on an imaginary journey through the wonders of this country," Dolce & Gabbana's website says of its new line. "Italia is Love."
Italia may be love, but Italia (and Dolce & Gabbana by extension) has a pretty well-documented history of being culturally insensitive when it comes to brown people. Unsurprisingly, this isn't the first time that D&G have dipped their toe into the shallow end of the racism pool. As The Cut points out, Dolce & Gabbana released a series of earrings last year that were styled after the kinds offensive blackamoor and mammy that are still all too commonly found in Italy.
Dolce & Gabbana's updated site now calls the sandal a "Decorative Flat Sandal In Napa Leather With Pompoms," but upscale resale sites that drew their descriptions directly from D&G still have the word "slave" embedded within their URLs.
As if the racism wasn't enough, the actual heads of D&G, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, have been open and frank in their dislike of queer, non-traditional families. The fashion icons came out in strong opposition to the idea of gay families having biological children of their own, calling children born to gays and lesbians "children of chemistry" and synthetic.
We've reached out to Dolce & Gabbana about the decision to name sandal in question and will update this post if and when they respond.

Back to Hopyard's post:VICTOR D. QUILICI vs. VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
************************************************** **December 6, 1982, Decided
****BAUER, Circuit Judge.
****This appeal concerns the constitutionality of the Village of Morton Grove's Ordinance No. 81-11, n1 which prohibits the possession of handguns within the Village's borders.The district court held that the Ordinance was constitutional. We affirm.
****While we recognize that this case raises controversial issues which engender strong emotions, our task is to apply the law as it has been interpreted by the Supreme Court, regardless of whether that Court's interpretation comports with various personal views of what the law should be....
****We next consider whether Ordinance No. 81-11 violates the second amendment to the United States Constitution. While appellants all contend that Ordinance No. 81-11 is invalid under the second amendment, they offer slightly different arguments to substantiate this contention. All argue, however, that the second amendment applies to state and local governments and that the second amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms exists, not only to assist in the common defense, but also to protect the individual. While reluctantly conceding that Presser v. Illinois, 116 U.S. 252 (1886), held that the second amendment applied only to action by the federal government, they nevertheless assert that Presser also held that the right to keep and bear arms is an attribute of national citizenship which is not subject to state restriction. Reichert br. at 36. Finally, apparently responding to the district court's comments that "plaintiffs . . . have not suggested that the Morton Grove Ordinance in any way interferes with the ability of the United States to maintain public security . . ." Quilici and Reichert argue in this court that the Morton Grove Ordinance interferes with the federal government's ability to maintain public security by preventing individuals from defending themselves and the community from "external or internal armed threats." These are the same arguments made in the district court. Accordingly, we comment only briefly on the points already fully analyzed in that court's decision.
****As we have noted, the parties agree that Presser is controlling, but disagree as to what Presser held. It is difficult to understand how appellants can assert that Presser supports the theory that the second amendment right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right which the state cannot regulate when the Presser decision plainly states that "the Second Amendment declares that it shall not be infringed, but this . . . means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National government. . . ."* As the district court explained in detail, appellants' claim that Presser supports the proposition that the second amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms is not subject to state restriction is based on dicta quoted out of context.* This argument borders on the frivolous and does not warrant any further consideration.
****Apparently recognizing the inherent weakness of their reliance on Presser , appellants urge three additional arguments to buttress their claim that the second amendment applies to the states. They contend that: (1) Presser is no longer good law because later Supreme Court cases incorporating other amendments into the fourteenth amendment have effectively overruled Presser,* (2) Presser is illogical, and (3) the entire Bill of Rights has been implicitly incorporated into the fourteenth amendment to apply to the states..
****None of these arguments has merit. First, appellants offer no authority, other than their own opinions, to support their arguments that Presser is no longer good law or would have been decided differently today. Indeed, the fact that the Supreme Court continues to cite Presser leads to the opposite conclusion. Second, regardless of whether appellants agree with the Presser analysis, it is the law of the land and we are bound by it. Their assertion that Presser is illogical is a policy matter for the Supreme Court to address. Finally, their theory of implicit incorporation is wholly unsupported. The Supreme Court has specifically rejected the proposition that the entire Bill of Rights applies to the states through the fourteenth amendment.
****Since we hold that the second amendment does not apply to the states, we need not consider the scope of its guarantee of the right to bear arms.
****Because the second amendment is not applicable to Morton Grove and because possession of handguns by individuals is not part of the right to keep and bear arms, Ordinance No. 81-11 does not violate the second amendment.
*Finally, we consider whether Ordinance No. 81-11 violates the ninth amendment. Appellants argue that, although the right to use commonly-owned arms for self-defense is not explicitly listed in the Bill of Rights, it is a fundamental right protected by the ninth amendment. Citing no authority which directly supports their contention, they rely on the debates in the First Congress and the writings of legal philosophers to establish that the right of an individual to own and possess firearms for self-defense is an absolute and inalienable right which cannot be impinged.
****Since appellants do not cite, and our research has not revealed, any Supreme Court case holding that any specific right is protected by the ninth amendment, appellants' argument has no legal significance. Appellants may believe the ninth amendment should be read to recognize an unwritten, fundamental, individual right to own or possess firearms; the fact remains that the Supreme Court has never embraced this theory.
****Accordingly, the decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.First, our nation is stronger, much stronger when we adhere to the Founders intent of independent, sovereign states. Second, what yu consider an activist judge is bizarre in the extreme. Scalia, Roberts, Thomas (and perhaps Alito) are EXACTLY the jurists best equipped to undersatnd the intent and the plain words of the Consitution. They RESPECT the Constitution. The hare brains like Ginsberg treat the Constitution as something that should randomly change based on political winds. And you think the former defines activism?Now, eventually, we will find out as this stuff is surely going to wend its way upward through the judicial system. My fear frankly, is that the conservative justices on the SC are as activist as any there have ever been, and as reactionary as any in the past, and will follow your interpretation to our country's detriment.Yes, we have gone down the states rights road before. It is called the founding of this nation and the brilliant government created by Adams, Madison, Jay, and Hamilton. You want to throw away their masterpiece.We have been down this path of unbridled states rights before, and it has been a disaster-- as well outlined in the brief I just mentioned.

As director Ron Howard's newest film, "Rush," comes to theaters nationwide Friday, you have to wonder if a general audience will embrace a show about auto racing, much less racing in the seemingly ancient mid-1970s.
Will racing enthusiasts go see a movie that gets the story of the 1976 Formula One title battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda right enough, even if it's not documentary-accurate?
The answer to both of those questions should be yes.
This is sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. With race cars!
But that's really selling things short -- and much too simply.
"Rush" soars in all the right places, makes you think in others and stands among Howard's best work -- no small feat for the director of "Apollo 13," "A Beautiful Mind," "Frost/Nixon" and "Backdraft."
The movie unfolds quickly, the thrilling racing sequences to open and then sprinkled throughout, the depiction of the hard-working and sometimes even harder-partying lifestyles that racers, mechanics and their hangers-on enjoyed in the 1970s as the sport transitioned to an ever-more upscale endeavor.
But the film centers on the rivalry between Hunt and Lauda in the 1976 season and then the payoff, where you realize that while the movie was about two racing legends, the heart of it is not the heartthrob Hunt -- played to perfection by Chris Hemsworth -- it is Lauda, the portrayal of whom should earn Daniel Brühl an Oscar nomination, if not an outright win.
Watching the two-hour, three-minute film is like going to a race itself. There is the thrill at the start as we meet the protagonists, it settles into an unfolding, fast-paced storyline and finally there's the payoff at the finish. And if you blink, you may miss something important.
And what it also should show fans of Formula One too young to have seen it is the transition years of the sport from daredevil death-wish status to a polished, regulated, much safer form of racing. Maybe you will think that's good. Many may believe it is bad. "Rush" lets you choose.
It's made clear early in the movie how often drivers were dying on the track, and for his part, Lauda was one who aimed to see that stop. Hunt, on the other hand, would down some champagne, maybe take a hit and then get behind the wheel. The technician, tactician and calculated risk-taker versus the dashing, win-or-die-trying free spirit. It's been the essence of racing for generations. It's put on screen with near perfection here.
Hemsworth/Hunt sums up the wildcat side best when replying to a question about why racing isn't made safer.
"The risk of death turns people on."
I'm not sure Hunt ever said those words, but Hemsworth sells it like Hunt did.
Credit goes to writer Peter Morgan ("Frost/Nixon," "The Queen," "The Last King of Scotland") for latching onto a great story without being a slave to all its details.
While racing purists may quibble with parts -- Hunt and Lauda were friends off the track, some races were compressed, the race schedule is altered, some accidents are fictitious and even deaths were composites of those that occurred over multiple seasons -- the job of Morgan and Howard was to put out a coherent film people will want to watch while capturing the essence of its based-on-a-true-story tag and the times it purports to reflect.
From an entertainment standpoint, they nailed it. It has the look and feel of the '70s throughout. You know … sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. It earns its R rating honestly.
It's practically worth going to the movie just to see the fashions. It's apparent now my then-10-year-old self was a much more frumpy Lauda than fab Hunt.
From a racing purist's standpoint, it should certainly be close enough. And if the story isn't close enough, the racing sequences alone should suffice.
Brühl and Hemsworth not only portray the men who drove the cars, they seem to drive each other to fine performances.
They had to portray a rivalry that nearly saw one of the drivers die, the other deal with the guilt of being complicit in what led to that near-fatal accident, and still stay true to the spirit of the times.
And if you're worried the actor who plays "Thor" is just not right for the role of Hunt, rest easy.
Hemsworth certainly looks the part, though he is a little too handsome compared to Hunt's rough-hewn facial features. But it's the Australian actor's ability to show the outward boyish charm and the devil-may-care attitude in Hunt -- as well as the inner doubt that wracks him -- that makes the performance memorable.
For Brühl, he was fortunate enough to get to spend time with the three-time world champion Lauda -- Hunt died of a heart attack in 1993 at age 45, so Hemsworth didn't have that luxury -- and the contact with the racing legend did not go to waste. Brühl is Niki Lauda in this movie.
Their barbs and banter never seem forced, even when Hemsworth as Hunt throws barbs like "rat," at Brühl/Lauda, and sometimes much worse.
Brühl/Lauda takes it all with a sly grin before making a usually salient point. Again, you get to decide who you like in this movie. There are not two heroes on screen, just two men driven to be the best at what they do.
Making a serious film about racing comes with enormous pitfalls.
You can be true to life but so over the top that you have a memorable movie -- and now even a cult classic -- but an at-times-laughable flick (see "Days of Thunder"). You can have a plot so bad you're not sure how the movie ever got green-lighted and with racing scenes so inauthentic that anyone who knows anything about racing will laugh (see "Driven").
Or you can see "Rush."
Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll with race cars? No. It's more than that.
It is a fabulous work of cinema.
And it is the best racing film ever made.

Pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) is a standard approach for transceiver design for time-varying channels, with channel estimates obtained from pilot symbols being employed for coherent demodulation of the data symbols. In this paper, we show that PSAM schemes can be improved by adapting the coded modulation strategy at the sender to the quality of the channel measurement at the receiver, without requiring any channel feedback from the receiver. We consider performance in terms of achievable rate for binary signaling schemes. The transmitter employs interleaved codes, with data symbols coded according to their distance from the nearest pilot symbols. Symbols far away from pilot symbols encounter poorer channel measurements at the receiver and are therefore coded with lower rate codes, while symbols close to pilot symbols benefit from recent channel measurements and are coded with higher rate codes. The performance benefits from this approach are quantified in the context of binary signaling over time-varying Rayleigh fading channels described by a Gauss-Markov model. The spacing of the pilot symbols is optimized to maximize the mutual information between input and output in this setting. Causal and noncausal channel estimators of varying complexity and delay are considered. It is shown that, by appropriate optimization for the spacing between consecutive pilot symbols, the adaptive coding techniques proposed can improve achievable rate, without any feedback from the receiver to the sender. Moreover, channel estimation based on the two closest pilot symbols is generally close to optimal.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Life!) - British folk singer Yusuf Islam hopes to return to the United States in December to record a song inspired by his deportation three years ago, he said on Friday.
Islam, who changed his name from Cat Stevens after he became a Muslim in 1978, was denied entry to the United States "on national security grounds" in September 2004. His inbound flight was diverted to Maine and he and his daughter were taken off the plane. Islam had been planning to record in Nashville with country artists, including Dolly Parton.
Apparently no longer considered a terrorist, the peace activist's visa situation has been cleared up, and he later returned to the United States to promote his 2006 comeback "Another Cup," his first mainstream pop album in 28 years.
The 59-year-old London resident has started work on a follow-up, and has written a song about "my little excursion" called "Boots and Sand." Another attempt at Nashville is in the cards.
"I'm planning hopefully to drop in there and finally close that circle (in) December," Islam told Reuters.
Parton will "not necessarily" be on the record, "but she'll be implied in the lyric," Islam said.
The album is off to a cracking start, and Islam is rocking out a little after buying an electric guitar, a Stevie Ray Vaughan Telecaster manufactured by Fender. For most of his career, he was content to strum an acoustic, but he said his son has been encouraging him to experiment.
"At the moment, with the way that we recorded yesterday, doing a song a day, it could be finished in a month ... (and) out just before summer," he said. "But you never know with these things."
The new album is vying for his attention with a planned stage musical called "Moonshadow," which will tell the story of the "search for the perfect world" through both old songs and new. The title character, named after one of Islam's best known songs, is a guide for the hero, named Stormy.
The project is still in the early stages, with no director attached yet, and Islam hopes it will premiere in Europe toward the end of 2008 or in the spring of 2009.
"I've got a lot of people in the States who want to back it and put it on as early as possible," Islam said. "But I think that because I'm over here (in London) most of the time I'd like to see it develop in front of my eyes, where I can actually help it grow."
In the meantime, Islam has just released a DVD featuring his first full U.K. concert in 28 years as well as a BBC documentary and various video clips. "Yusuf's Cafe Session" boasts live versions of such classics as "Father & Son" and "Where Do the Children Play" performed in an intimate session last March at London's Porchester Hall.

What is an element? What is the periodic table? And what does quantum mechanics contribute to the question?

This article considers two important traditions concerning the chemical elements. The first is the meaning of the term "element" including the distinctions between element as basic substance, as simple substance and as combined simple substance. In addition to briefly tracing the historical development of these distinctions, I make comments on the recent attempts to clarify the fundamental notion of element as basic substance for which I believe the term "element" is best reserved. This discussion has focused on the writings of Fritz Paneth which are here analyzed from a new perspective. The other tradition concerns the reduction of chemistry to quantum mechanics and an understanding of chemical elements through their microscopic components such as protons, neutrons and electrons. I claim that the use of electronic configurations has still not yet settled the question of the placement of several elements and discuss an alternative criterion based on maximizing triads of elements. I also point out another possible limitation to the reductive approach, namely the failure, up to now, to obtain a derivation of the Madelung rule. Mention is made of some recent similarity studies which could be used to clarify the nature of 'elements'. Although it has been suggested that the notion of element as basic substance should be considered in terms of fundamental particles like protons and electrons, I resist this move and conclude that the quantum mechanical tradition has not had much impact on the question of what is an element which remains an essentially philosophical issue.
